The improvements are described in the 1996-2001 Capital Improvement Program and include the improvements described in Recitals numbers 2 and 3 below. Road Parallel to Southem Pacific Right-of-Way - Dougherty Road to Dublin Boulevard, Project #9686 (Scarier Drive Extension)- Deposit #1000-331-006 This project would provide a 4-lane roadway connection between Dougherty Road and Dublin Boulevard (extending from the current Scarlett Drive intersection with Dublin Boulevard and parallel to the Southern Pacific Railroad Right-of-Way). As of June 30, 1996, the total amount of funds collected for this project is $12,400.00. This amount was collected by the City on January 2, 1990. This project will not be needed until development in the Dougherty Valley (Contra Costa County) occurs and until the future East Dublin/Pleasanton BART station, adjacent to Camp Parks, is completed. Development in Dougherty Valley is anticipated within the next several years. The BART station is slated for completion in 1997. Dougherty Road Improvements (Amador Valley Boulevard North to City Limits) Project #9689 - Deposit #1000-331-008 This project consists of constructing the ultimate noahbound lanes and median from Amador Valley Blvd. north to the City limits. As of June 30, 1996, the total amount of funds collected for this project is $9,328.00. This amount was collected by the City on January 2, 1990. This project will not be needed until development in the Dougherty Valley occurs. Contra Costa County approved an amendment to its general plan in 1992, which would permit development in the Dougherty Valley. That amendment was challenged by two lawsuits which have now been settled. It is anticipated that development will occur within the next several years. The two projects described in Recitals 2 and 3 above, are referred to as the "Two Traffic Improvements." All of the fees described above and unexpended after 5 years (paragraphs 2-3) were collected on January 2, 1990, and subject to this resolution, were collected from Dublin Meadows Parmers for the Dublin Meadows multi-family housing project. A finding was made at the time the Dublin Meadows Project was approved, by Council Resolution No. 33-89, that the fees were needed in order to finance the construction of the Two Traffic Improvements. Resolution No. 33-89 further found that the purpose of the fees was to mitigate the traffic impacts caused by the Dublin Meadows project by construction of the Two Traffic Improvements. Findings The Council finds, on the basis of the foregoing Recitals, that: A. The fees which have been collected for the Two Traffic Improvements will remain unexpended in Fiscal Year 1996-97; B. The fees which have been collected for the Two Traffic Improvements will remain committed for construction of the improvements identified in the adopted Capital Improvement Program; C. The purpose to which the fees will be put is for construction of the Two Traffic Improvements, as described above and in the 1996 - 2001 Capital Improvement Program; D. The fees were collected to make the Two Traffic Improvements, which improvements will mitigate traffic impacts caused by the Dublin Meadows Project; and E. The fees which have been collected for the Two Traffic Improvements are needed for construction of the Two Traffic Improvements. PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED THIS 15th day of October, 1996.
